Brief description: Pre-recorded by the Office of H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, all four sessions of the teaching will be available to view from Friday, January 9th, 2026.
Event details: In this four-day teaching series, H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa presents clear and practical instructions based on the teachings of Dusum Khyenpa, the First Karmapa, reviving the Kagyu tradition of accessible Dharma guidance. The teachings outline the essential path to awakening through confidence, wisdom (prajna), and compassion, beginning with confidence as the foundation of inner strength and meaning, deepening into wisdom as the discernment that frees the mind from confusion, and culminating in compassion as the heart of the Mahayana path and the basis of bodhicitta. With reflections drawn from everyday life and the challenges of the modern world, these teachings offer practical methods for integrating Dharma into daily experience, transforming the mind and life for the benefit of all beings.

Brief description: Lhabab Duchen is one of the holiest and most sacred days in Tibetan Buddhism. Observed on the 22nd day of the ninth Tibetan lunar month (which this year falls on November 11th), Lhabab Duchen commemorates the Buddha’s return to the human realm after giving teachings to his mother for three months in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three. The merit of all positive actions performed at this time is said to be greatly multiplied.
Event details: Every year Gaden Shartse monastery performs the prelude, principal section, and the conclusion of the Rabne Gelek Charbeb consecration ritual over three days. The ‘Consecration Ritual’ (Rabne) is a powerful practice for cleansing negativities, sicknesses and obstacles, which includes the re-consecration of all the statues, sacred texts and stupas at the monastery, thereby re-empowering all these sacred objects to radiate enlightened and protective qualities throughout the environment for the benefit of all sentient beings. A fire offering puja is also performed on the last day of the consecration ritual. The consecration ritual will be carried out in the presence of all the senior lamas and the entire monk assembly.
Gompa member-supporters are cordially invited to register for this special event. At the time you register, there will also be the opportunity to make a voluntary offering in support of Gaden Shartse monastery, Mundgod, Karnataka, India.

Brief description: The six sessions of teachings, given during the 32nd Annual Namo Buddha Seminar in April 2025 and recorded by Thrangu Media at Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, Namo Buddha, Nepal, are given in English.
Event details: ‘The Torch of True Meaning’ by the great master and scholar Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye gives clear and concise instruction on the preliminary and main practices of Mahamudra meditation. As stated in the foreword by H.H. the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje:
Anyone who wishes to practice the ngondro of the Kagyu lineage and in particular the Karma Kagyu lineage should first read this text carefully and internalize its meaning. They will then have a stable ground for the practice of mahamudra. This is not just the correct way to practice, but also the most beneficial.
Venerable Choje Lama Wangchuk Rinpoche was born in Kathmandu in November 1983. He began his education at Thrangu Rinpoche’s school in Boudha and became a monk during his early studies, training under the late Khenpo Ngedhon at Thrangu Monastery. From 2008 to 2011 he completed the traditional three-year retreat at Thrangu Sekhar Retreat Center under the guidance of V. V. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche and Drupon Khenpo Lhabu. He then served as Thrangu Rinpoche’s secretary and attendant. In 2018, on the 33rd birthday of H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, he was formally bestowed the title of Choje Lama. Since then, he has overseen the monasteries, dharma institutes, schools, and clinics established by V. V. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche.

Brief description: Karma is a Sanskrit word which means ‘action’. Karma refers to the doctrine of actions and their causal consequences. These three talks by senior teacher Karma Wangchuk Lhamo are given in Tibetan with English translation. [This event was originally webcast in July 2019 as Event ID 220.]
Event details: The concept of karma includes, in its causal aspect, both the actual actions (physical, verbal and mental) and the psychological imprints and tendencies created within the mind by such actions. After the commitment of an action a causal chain is maintained within the mental continuum which continues through successive events and rebirths. Such a karmic potential is later activated when it interacts with appropriate circumstances and conditions thus leading to the fruition of its effects. In general, if we act motivated by greed, anger, or delusion, we are planting the seed of suffering; when our acts are motivated by generosity, love, or wisdom, then we are creating the karmic conditions for openness and happiness.
Karma Wangchuk Lhamo was ordained at Thrangu Tara Abbey at the age of sixteen. In 1999 she entered solitary retreat for three years in Manang, Nepal. Between 2005 and 2014 she completed the nine year shedra studies course at Namdroling monastery in South India. Since 2014 she has been a senior teacher at Thrangu Tara Abbey.
